TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, ROYAL E. DEANE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use certain new and useful improvements in the Construction of Cooking-Ranges; and I do declare the following to he a. full, clear, and correct description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which Figure 1 is a top view of my improved range, a part of the top or heating-plate being removed.

Figure 2, a cross-section through the grate.

Figure 3, a cross-section through one of the ovens.

In the drawings, like parts of the invention are indicated by the same letters of reference.

The nature of my invention consists in the use or employment of a chamber placed between the tops of the ovens and the under side of the heating-plate forthe purposes hereinafter set forth.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my improvement, I will proceed to describe the same.

A shows a cooking-range; B and B are the ovens of the same; C, the grate, and D the-top or heating-plate; E shows a chamber running, in some instances, the entire length of the range, which chamber may he made sufliciently deep to fill the space between the top of the ovens B and B and the under side of the top or heatingplate D. This chamber is also so constructed that the space between the fire and the front portion of the range shall be filled by a portion of the chamber projecting downward. This chamber E is filled with water supplied in any convenient manner, in the present instance, entering through the pipe e, a second pipe, 2 being used to draw off from the chamber to any suitable receptacle the water heated in the same.

Theimprovement is intended to prevent the burning out of the front of the range which frequently occurs when an open grate is used, and at the same time to allow approach to the ovens and fire of the range, which is not rendered so easy when the brickwork or an open grate is employed, owing to the intense heat from the fire, thus giving to the range an external co'olness which has not heretofore been efi'ected.

In some cases the chamber E may form a continuation of the front of the range, and in other cases it may form a continuation of the top or heating-plate, the efi'cct in either case being the same as is produced in the present invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as iiew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In the construction of a cooking-range, the use or employment of a chamber, E, constructed and operating substantially as described for the purposes set forth.

ROYAL E. DEANE.
